Fuji-Q Highland

FujiYoshida-shi, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

This great park, previously known as Fujikyu Highland, has been open since 1961. Located not too far from Tokyo, the site of this park pales in comparison to nearby Mt. Fuji, which stands 12,290 feet tall! The 124-acre park has 33 rides, 9 restaurants, 12 snack bars, 17 tennis courts, and 20 bowling alleys. One coaster has been built since my last visit: Zokkon is an Intamin Family Launch Coaster that opened in 2023.

Five roller coasters have been removed from Fuji-Q:

  • Double Loop (1988-2005) Pictures and details shown below.
  • Giant Coaster (1966-1996) A 40-meter (130-foot) tall steel coaster built by Sansei Yusoki Co., Ltd. Its length of 1,432 meters (4,698 feet) gave it the title of the World's Longest Roller Coaster for a few years.
  • Mad Mouse (1973-2019) Pictures and details shown below.
  • Moonsault Scramble (1983-2001).  This Meisho shuttle coaster had two inversions and pulled nearly 6.5 Gs
  • Zola 7 (1988-2010) Pictures and details shown below.
